1 Overview
The X-618 provides a series of complete multiple audio source, and public audio management
solutions. The system allows users to customize the configuration to meet their own requirements.
The X-618 Config software is a specialized tool for configuring the system. The user-friendly UI
allows users to understand and operate the system, as well as configure complex settings.
The X-618 Config software can be configured online or offline. If the software is configured offline,
the configuration data is saved as a project file. The project file (configuration data) is then
uploaded to the system the device is connected to. After the system receives the configuration
data, the system reboots automatically to allow the configuration settings to take effect.
Software Features
The X-618 Config software has the following features:
Project File Management
This feature includes the following functions:
The ability to create new projects, save projects, and open projects
Manages configuration settings and audio files
System Configuration
The configuration settings include basic property settings and broadcast function
configurations.
Basic property settings include the system component and parameter settings, such as
the device type, device name, network IP address, time, partitions, and troubleshooting.
The broadcast configuration settings are mainly for broadcast operations, such as the
broadcast function triggered by the dry contact inputs, timed broadcasts, and other key
operations.
Output Settings
These settings specify how configuration project files are generated, as well as related settings
that include error checking and compiling settings for generating the final configuration file.
Audio Source Conversion
Audio source files can be converted to the format specified by system in terms of the audio
sampling rate, digitalizing bit, and channel numbers.
Network Communication
The configuration software oversees uploading configuration files, audio files and timing data
to devices such as the DCS and NPM through the network. The system reboots to allow new
configurations to take effect upon successfully receiving and processing the configuration files.
